Extremely rude customer service. Avoid at all costs. They made fun of me in Mandarin for not knowing perfect Mandarin. I was born in the United States, and I know a dialect of Chinese - just not mandarin. They said dine in was open, but when we sat down to eat, they kicked us out. Duck was extremely dry and cold. Had no flavor to it at all. Skin was super soggy. Probably resulted from having no customers the entire day. Ended up throwing the duck out and not even eating it. Also got a box of Chinese broccoli. The Chinese broccoli was way too oily. Would have preferred it just steamed and flavorless than with that much oil. Failing health score as well. Please do yourself a favor and do not come here, unless you like refrigerator temperature duck and your vegetables drenched in disgusting oil. read more

We bought a half roasted duck and 1 lb of roasted pig. Both was very,good,texture was crisp and not too salty. We dropped by this shop without pre order,but since this shop was very popular in the weekend,we recommend to pre-order. read more

Wow!! As a kid, all Chinese roast pork was the same. What's to not like about pork belly? With a generic name, it was easy to skip amidst the "more authentic" Chinese-named restaurants. As an adult, Yelp 3.5* Chinese restaurants are dime a dozen, even with the flood of new mainland money restaurants. I've never had an inkling to write home about roast pork until now. However, this is my sleeper pick of the year. Bbq King House siu yuk is at a whole other level, compared to other restaurants in Chicago, LA and SF, and even Hong Kong (although HK is basically a tie). The pork is melt in your mouth juicy, with just the right amount of seasoning so that you still taste pork and not overly salty, and the skin is crispy, crackly, and potato-chip thin. Also, gotta point out that they respect the packaging and hand-cut vent holes to prevent sogginess from the heat causing interior steam. Don't miss it. read more

The meal was delicious. We stumbled in and ordered the half duck, fried rice, and Mongolian beef. The waiter suggested I order something else when I went to order and then when I ordered the Mongolian beef, he said good choice. This led to high expectations and it absolutely lived up to it. Best I've had. read more

Go to place to grab a quick bite. Can't go wrong with char siu. Usually quite consistent. Don't get here too late otherwise they sell out of their pork belly! read more

More of a 3.5 or even 3.75 than a 3, but not quite a 4. Really friendly happy service and outdoor seating! A great place for meat lovers. We got a half roast duck (which is cut up for you and very convenient - it does still have bone but that's half the fun), bbq pork fried rice, bbq pork, and bbq chicken wings. They have high chairs but at least two of them had broken buckles. Didn't matter though because there was one that worked and our baby turned out to be OBSESSED with roast duck. Like woah. Some of the dishes weren't hot (they're displayed ready to be served and I guess not reheated), but the meat is succulent and we all enjoyed having some afternoon bbq. They have indoor dining, but since there were tons of outdoor tables available, we were happy to eat there. Would go again for more duck read more

This is one of my go-to Chinese bbq restaurants in Chinatown! I love their princess chicken. Their roast duck and pork are also delicious. Servers are attentive and fast. read more

I would love to come back again here for the tasty delish food but not the service. First time in my life I was told to how many percentage of tip to give by the server. She was also not professional about it and have to call us out on our way and literally yell at the resto and evryone can hear that it should be 15 percent. it was very unprofessional of her. The two servers tried to help but was not complete with service, we asked for spoons and fork and we got only spoon, no offer to serve water which is very much needed for the spicy flavors. I wish they would have a better service people as they have very good food. read more

BbQ King has been around since I was a kid. My grandma used to buy chicken and bbq pork and I would stare at the hanging chickens. This is not the fanciest restaurant by far and usually there is a language barrier if you can't speak Chinese. I always come here for one specific dish...the soy sauce chicken w/bbq pork rice box. It comes with Chinese veggies, a soy sauce egg, and a side of soup for around $10-$12. I always get 2 meals out of it. read more

The good: Classic Chinese bbq dishes, all nicely cooked with dripping fatty oil. Nothing unexpected, but nothing overly amazing. Ordered a roast duck and also a chicken dish (can't recall exactly which). Both were great. The menu is pretty extensive when you sit. There are family style tables if you decide to come with a large group. The less good: Service was okay. When we arrived, we wanted to sit down and no one directed us what to do. The workers were all behind the counter and not out front. Had to wait in line at the cashier and then we were told to sit. read more

BBQ King is my go to place in Chicago for Chinese BBQ. Go earlier in the day as they can run out of some items by late afternoon. Their lunch specials are reasonably price. On my last visit I stopped for a quick lunch. Two BBQ item which comes with white rice, some vegetables, and soup was only $8.50. Service is fast. read more

Today my wife and I came here for lunch....this was our new place for crispy pork and BBQ. I spent 150.00 for for lunch and for food to go home with. Our waitress was missing most of the meal didn't check in with us or refill our drinks so I gave 12% tip on the table in cash. Waitress comes over and demands 15% tip saying 12% is not enough. She was lucky getting any tip at all. Most of the food was BBQ in to go containers . Will not return to this place ever again. BBQ food is very good but service is really bad. Just got home looked at the 6 pounds of crispy pork... they put the meat on the top of container and put the bones on the bottom... unbelievable... yeah never again. read more

Love this place...came here with family before for dinner. Now came with my boyfriend want to have him try the Peking Duck. Famous for their duck. This place in the Tribune for the best. And I would say it is true. Never fail. Order in for lunch. They serve like a meal plan where they pick out the dish for you. I did not take the picture of the salt and pepper shrimp and the duck bone broth and the stir fry duck meat with veggies. In this mean I added roasted pork read more

I have tried dozens of Cantonese BBQ/food places in many of the cities with larger Asian enclaves (NYC, SF, LA, Chicago, Detroit, Boston, Philly, Seattle, DC, Atlanta). This place consistently ranks near the top of the pack. Wait staff are efficient. Flavor and texture are precisely what you would expect from truly authentic Cantonese cuisine. Reliably outstanding! read more

I live and breathe for Cantonese BBQ. It reminds me of my childhood when my parents would bring home some form of BBQ for us to eat over some white rice. Realizing that I needed to be an adult now in Chicago, I decided it was time for me to take matters into my own hands and get some for myself. BBQ King was a convenient shop to do a quick grab-and-go order of meat with some rice. I ordered half a pound of Roast Pork ($5) and a side of rice ($1). The butchers behind the counter were quick to grab the meat and chopped up the right amount for my order. After a few minutes, I was out of there and ready for dinner at home. The roast pork that I got was good, but not incredible as I had hoped for. The skin was not nearly as crispy as it could have been, and the fact that I had gone in the early afternoon to get it, means it wasn't hanging out for too long. Still- it got the job done and I was able to get a good two meals from my order. If you're in the area and want to grab a quick bite of BBQ, this is a good option to consider. read more

The food is fantastic but the cashiers could all use a little more customer service training. So fresh and seasoned perfectly, decent price, super quick. Restaurant is clean. read more

This restaurant has pretty solid carry out BBQ choices although sometimes the meat is a bit thin for some people's tastes (although normal Chinese BBQ is probably too fatty for the American palate). The dine-in is actually just as good or possibly better than a lot of the restaurants in Chinatown Square at an excellent price. It surprises me why more people don't try it but it could just be the perception some might have that a BBQ restaurant can't cook normal cuisine very well or might be overly salty/oily. read more

I asked if they had Peking duck and the woman said yes. When I got home, I found out they gave me roast duck instead. I was the only customer at the time, so there was no way they could have mixed up my order. I was buying tea next door so I didn't see what they put in, and didn't think to check. Do I look like I don't know the difference between Peking duck and roast duck??? Not to mention, the roast duck was not flavorful and super cold, as if it came out of the fridge. Not coming back. read more

Came here for dinner during a quick visit to Chicago's Chinatown. We ordered the roast duck, which was good, but a littttle bit too salty. We also tried some veggies, soup, shrimp with candied walnut, and jingdu pai gu (pork) which were all delicious and satisfied my craving for authentic Chinese food. Overall it looked clean though a bit rundown to me, and the service was fast and friendly. I don't mind "hole-in-the-wall" ambiance as long as the food is yummy. read more

BBQ King House has been here my entire life essentially and I'm not surprised. It's consistently good and fairly priced. All their meats are cooked to perfection. Juicy and delicious. My parents would bring home various meats for dinner and took the place for granted as an independent adult. Decided to go back in and eat there as I waited for my hair appointment. Ended up getting the "princess" chicken (steamed?) that they serve with the douse worthy ginger, onion, oil sauce. I could douse that sauce on my rice and just eat that for meals. Portion size seems expensive but it's huge. I took 1/3 of my order home. A staple in Chinatown and for good reason. @RefereEats "I call it like I eat it." read more

BBQ is extremely underrated. I highly recommend their BBQ meats, especially the roasted pork and char siu. The roasted pork is so tender, juicy, and the contrast between the crispy skin and tender meat is delightful! The char siu comes with just the right amount of meat and that char siu sauce, and the meat is also so tender! Plus the amount you pay for the meats is just so worth! read more

THEY ARE LIARS. they refuse to give me a refund, i feel a pain in my stomach. NEVER BEEN THIS HAPPENED IN MY LIFE... ... i will file a complaint to the food safety department read more

BBQ King House has the basics down!! Beef Chow Fun is one of my favorite Chinese comfort dishes, and I love how they do it here! Other dishes I have tried here include the fried noodles and the bitter melon rice dish, both are excellent. I started coming here during Covid, and they prioritized safety/cleanliness-- all the workers wore masks and gloves, and they had disposable table covers. They used ceramic cups for hot tea though, which was a nice in the cold weather. read more

My first time ordering from here on door dash and it was canceled 20 minutes later. I'm not so upset that it was canceled but that the restaurant should've reached out to me instead of me having to get an email 20 minutes later about it. I had the same thing happen on another order. It seem these Chinatown restaurants don't really care or are concerned about their customers. They always blame it on the delivery app but I've been there and done that; inconsistency is inconvenient either way and don't let a delivery app have to be the one to reach out to your customer maybe you could've kept that customer if they wound even reached out first and more ahead of time. read more

As a broke graduate student living near Chinatown, this place is a blessing. I only found this place when I ended up in Chinatown earlier than when Joy Yee's was suppose to open. BBQ King has alot of "over rice" entrees that are less than $7 and they also include a side of their soup along with the entree. I usually order the roasted duck or roasted pork over rice. Yum yum! Sadly, no delivery though! Decent service as well. The lady waitresses have always been quick and friendly. Also the owner has a picture of himself w/ Obama so it must be legit right? read more

If you're not Chinese they won't serve you right. I was just there to order some food to go, I waited in line patiently and I was being ignored. A Chinese couple came after me and they order in Chinese and they ignored me didn't even take my order. Some guy had the nerve to say wait a minute please after he skipped me and served the Chinese couple. I felt very discriminated and sad. I used to love this place but never coming back again. This happened just a few minutes ago. I'm going home sad and crying I've never felt so discriminated in my life. read more

Great to get Chinese BBQ to go from. It's been my family's go to for well over a decade. I usually get a soy sauce chicken or duck (they sell half or whole), wings, BBQ Pork, crispy pork but the pound. I grab a few things and I'm set for dinner for a few meals. From their dining menu, the seafood with crispy egg noodles is must. The staff is super friendly too. read more

I was very disappointed the last time that I ordered the BBQ duck as it was very small and dry compared to previous orders.

This last time, I really enjoyed my BBQ meats over rice. The restaurant has improved the taste, texture and quality of the BBQ meats. I had a Char Siu and Ribs meal over rice and it was really good. Nice lean pieces of lean pork and nice meaty ribs. A winner for my next trip to Chinatown Chicago. read more
